Keldon Johnson dislocates shoulder, expected back to open season

Former Kentucky standout Keldon Johnson has suffered a minor setback leading up to the 2022-23 NBA season. Two months removed from the four-year, $80 million extension he signed in July, the San Antonio Spurs star has suffered a dislocated right shoulder, an injury that will keep him out of the start of training camp.

According to the Spurs, though, Johnson is expected to return for the start of the season.

“San Antonio forward Keldon Johnson suffered a right shoulder posterior dislocation during Spurs open gym and has started actively rehabbing,” the team announced Saturday.
